ABSTRACT:
The assembly is a swim exercise device to be secured around a support structure near the surface of water and includes a length of cord (12) with two loops (22, 34, or 134) formed at each end. The first loop (22) is formed by a first guide means (14) being made of flexible sheet material which is bent to align pairs of holes (16, 18) for threading of the cord (12) therethrough which naturally resists such folding motion to remain biased toward flat which grips and prevents movement of the cord (12) therethrough. The second loop (34, 134) is formed by a second guide means (38) or a flexible strap (54). The cord (12) is positioned around a support structure and the first loop (22) is threaded through the second loop (34, 134) and is pulled taut to secure the assembly near the surface of water for exercising. Variable resistance is obtained by using an elastic cord (12) and variable elasticity is accomplished by adjusting the length of cord (12) between the first loop (22) and the second loop (34, 134).
